Veteran journalist Dan Rather said on Friday that President Trumps false statements about and attacks on the media are "straight out of Orwell."
The former longtime CBS News anchor told CNNs Don Lemon that Trump is "authoritarian" and wants people to believe that "the one and only truth comes from him."

"As several people have said before me, he is not just attacking the truth, he wants to annihilate the truth," the former anchor added. "He wants to move us completely into the post-truth political era in which theres no such thing as objective facts."
Rather added that there "has been some desperation" in Trump's recent attacks ... "And as he gets more desperate he takes bigger risks in telling bigger lies or more often telling lies. And telling people, 'look, dont believe what you read or see anywhere else, just come to me. I have the ultimate truth, I am the way,' " Rather said.

cretin dan rather is so steeped in fakeness, he actually believes the propaganda he continually spouts.
What the hell? Dont these freaks ever die?
You’re the king of out and out liars Dan. You were caught red handed with your fake letter trying to smear Dubya right before the 2004 election. YOU are a prime example of the Leftist lying MSM.
Disgraced propagandist attacks those who question his loathesome industry.
Come’on now. Everybody knows it’s not about the proof of a charge but rather the seriousness of the allegation...
Dan Rather. Straight from the Ministry of Truth.
He’s got it Bass Ackwards again.
The media’s Fake News and the rewriting of history is ‘straight out of Orwell’.
Projection much, Dan?
Your whole career was straight out of Orwell, Mr. Fake but Accurate.
Projectin’
Blather is straight out of Animal Farm.
The enemedia is doubling down on its lies...after that public soul-searching in the wake of the 2016 fiasco. Remember how for a few hours late on Election Night they said they’d stop ignoring us “little people”? In actuality “Operation Anti-Trump 24/7/365” never missed a beat; their “soul-searching” was pure theater for the benefit of the normals watching the networks on Election Night (who otherwise don’t even watch).
BS, the MSM’s fake news and manic, group hatred of Trump is straight out of Orwell
Isn’t this brown starfish dead yet?
...and you, you nasty reprobate, are straight from _____.
I guess playing the “Worse than Hitler!!” Card 24/7 is not working as the Libs expected it to.
The obama regime mastered and controlled it.
Now it has to be walked back.
